For the Dispatch.l
The Presbytery of Lexington

w wa
met at New Monmouth church, Rock
bridge county, Va, the Sd of May.
There were present twenty ministers
and nineteen elders "a very small
number, even for the first day.
The Rev. DIR. Preston preached the
opening sermon on these words of
Paul to the Philippians: Being con-
fident of this very thing, that He
which hath begun a good work in You
win perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ"
The Rev. A. Jones was elected mode
rator, and the Rev. q. l.. Bitter and
Elder H. w. Henry, of Stanton, tenn
porary clerks.
Two of our candidates, who have Just
completed their studies in the semi
nary-Messrs. A. w. Crawford and w.
McF. Alexander-were dismissed, the
former to Pennsylvania Presbytery,
Kentucky, and the latter to Savannah
Presbytery, Georgia, in which, re-
spectiyely, they have been called to
labor.
Mr.. w. II. Sheppard, our colored
candidate, was dismissed to Tuscaloosa
Presbytery, Alabama, for the same rea-
son. This leaves us no one licensed
to preach at this meeting.
The whole afternoon of to-day was
spent in the discussion of Sabbath
school work. "The Great Object of
the Sabbath School" was discussed by
the Rev. DR.. Halves and others. Dr.
Preston, followed by several speakers,
presented his views on the aualifica-
lions of teachers, making some good,
practical points. The question which
called forth the most animated and pro-
fitable remarks was OUTPOST Schools
Sunday Afternoon" The Rev. A. Jones
made strong argument for this kind
of effort, and many striking facts were
mentioned showing the great good OF
such schools both TO teachers and
scholars. New interest is evidently
taken in this important and promising
line Of Christian effort.
SECOND DAY.
The Rev. q. l.. Wolfe, who was dis
missed TO presbytery in Texas, re.
turned his certificate, continuing a
member of this body.
Licentiate W. G. White was received
under our care from the presbytery Of
West Hanover. Calls will be presented
for his services from Warm Springs and
Greenwood churches and a time set for
his ordination and installation.
The Rev. ID. &. Irwin was appointed
chairman of the Committee Of Publ
cation instead Of Dr. Preston, re-
signed.
The resignation OF the pastorate OF
Mossy-Creek church by the Rev. +. q.
Bailey was. accepted, and permission
was granted 10 him to labor without or
within our bounds until the next stated
meeting.
The following commissioners were
elected TO attend the General Assembly
at 81, Louis Drs. Preston and
Vaughan, with Elders Judge Gratsan,
Of harrisonburg, and William Wishrow,
